Copyrighted by by the Author, with and him. pul.i, arrangement But the girl who iina stood at the gate, m her slippers, and with no covering for her head but lb r golden uair fastened low on her neck, had 1 -Hated but a moment. She could not let Cui .,'u leave her thus; perhaj* she should never see him again, if he went away without one word from her to soften the blows she had Jet them give him. And then ho seemed to Vie walking slowly, she could overtake him in a moment. The un¬ even walk hurt her feet, her slippers were r,o thin, and as „she lifted her .skirt to walk faster n rudo briar tore her soft flesh, and then him;; Hhe greedily to her to im¬ pede her steps. stopped and called his name. Bhe had hardly murmured it, but it seemed so loud spoken and so tender toned she blushed at herself, and dared not sjx'ak it again. She might run a few steps, and then ho would hoar her voice more plainly. But her dress clung so closely and her excited breath came so fast that she gained on him very slowly. There was no use, she must lose him forever out of her life; ho must al¬ ways think her cruel and ungenerous. She leaned against the fence and sent one more hopeless cry after him. It was more a sob than a cry, a piteous sob, trembling with, gentle, heart broken reproach. Why, she was sure he must have heard that; she had never meant to- p/ .-k so loud. What could she say to him vl: he came back to her: She must try to be very cold and dignified. But wasn't lie going to turn? Why, her cry was piercing enough to go a mile on the still evening air. No, ho was further away, he had not heard her. Then she looked backed, and was fright¬ ened to see what a distance she was away from home. And as she stood looking, now at his (all form drawing uncou^'ously away from her, and then at the distant lights of her home, the first hint of tho desolation that broods over millions of hopeless hearts, came upon her soul. Her slippers were torn, and wc-t with dew, and each step she took bruised the tender feet that had never known hurt or weariness. Her heavy masses of hair had been shaken from their fastenings, and hung at full length to her waist. She fan¬ cied herself some lost, friendless Magdalen, for whom the world, that fawns on tho for¬ tunate and proud, had only taunts and cruel blows. And wero there women who had to face the world alone? fight their own battles with timid hearts? earn their own right to breathe, with sinking hearts? “What was that, a step, a man's step coming toward her?” To her excited imagination at that moment her beautiful home and the elegant life she loved so well seemed things of the past, She gathered her hair into a loose coil and let her dress trail on tho walk to cover her feet. The man wore workman's clothes. Bbr had hoped he might be a gentleman. Bho tried to keep on tho outer edge of tlio sidewalk; she would have taken the road if sh'h' 1 datvd. She looked away from tha b". ■■■■’ • ’.il l reowith beating heart ho was eraing directly toward her. Ilut per- hap.i he diil not sea her, and ho might turn assucyci, God grant ho be an honest man, who .e wife's loving face was in his thoughts at this moment. There were such men. But instead of moving aside tho man stopped short ju l before her, and she raised her big, scared i . rs to Ills face. “Why, B 'rt’ia, I thought it was you." Sure enough it was Philip Breton. He had come from the mill, where there had been some extra work, and wore his working clothes. “Let mo walk homo with you," he said very gently, n > if he bad no right to assert any privilege with her. “I c.r.v't > > far, and got frightened,” she saill do, . nily, as slio rested her hand on hit arm. Iler hand was cold, but it sent his young bl > -d tingling through hia veins. “I am so sorry." How Vie longed to catch Iwr white ii sod to iiis lips, and warm it with lh • 15;:t lately she had treated him with a i’ , 'v cold iu 1 a, ami her coldness he dare not nurd. Ho dreaded to face it, it pained him so pc*t endurance, and ho had called on her but seldom since tho night of tho fire. But now his heart w..s full of eloquent Jove; so full he could not conceive of her not sharing in it. It was sin called it forth, she must have something for him. They had reached her gate. She would surely invito him to go in with her. Then she could tell him if lie had dono anything to displease her. He could remember nothing, but there might have been some unconscious cold word or tone, as-if, poor fellow, he had not b.-.-u ou’-y too tender with her. “Good night,’’ she said. Khe had lost t he tremor in her voice fright had given her, and all the s-iftnc.-s <>f heart of her loneliness, “I thank you," she added, coldly, as he did not go, but stood looking as if he did not quite understand. “Good night," ho answered, with a great throb in his throat. He stumbled awk¬ wardly, as he went down tile steps; he could not see- very well for tlr> mist in his eyes. CHAPTER XI. i;x«hatefi;l populace. Philip Breton sat late over the tea table, i one evening s mio days after. II is father had ! been detained down in the village, and had 1 come homo with a good deal on his mind. Indv r-!. the old gentleman, who generally laid t* Me his hardness outside his own doors, ha 1 -at in silence wrinkling' his forehead very i -.artistically almost throughout the meal. ••Poor folks are always ungrateful,’ - he ex* ckiiiii -1 harshly at last as he shook his head « ■ n ly at the maidservant who offered him the cake basket. “Here I have whitewashed every house for them, nn-1 i ! v, as only t • -night I heard some grumbling old woman tell her husband, she wondered how <>! i Breton would like to live in one of his own fowmotits." Puilip sai l nothing. It- had been his habit lately, win- his father got on this theme, to k.--;i v. He was puzzled to know what to ray. "Why, look at it, Phil. Tlie insurance on t’a b.r:icd mill won't make up for the lost tii iu rebuilding, and this is the time they s .•{ to a-’.; for fire escapes. Yield them an i. ! and ' key want an i ll. I suppose they think 1 "-. hi to run the factory for a big b< institution. Every man that is poor cur i me for it, and not one -shift- less f.miiy in town. I'll warrant, but would l.iy the fault oa my shoulders. By the way. Phil, you have lieen to college; yon ou ght to know if there isn't any way I can slop the tongue of that tail brown hair'd felloe.’. Can't tlie law touch him? i lor. d;- hury.'I him, but ho docs more mi'-. hief ti; ;• rver.r “DMiehargeif Curran U exclaimed Philip. “You don’t mean it) why, be is the man that saved Bertha’s life," he continued hurriedly. “You must take him back at once—you must take him back at once, no matter what he has said.” “No matter what ho has done either, I sup¬ pose,” said Mr. Breton, with some heat. “Perhaps I know more of tho interesting young man than you dihe went on indis¬ creetly. “It may !k> as well for you if I opesi your eyes a l ittle—what is it, MaryT “Three men at the door, sir. They want to see you, sir.” “I think they are workmen.” The mill owner found three of his workmen in his study; all standing when he entered because they felt less awkward on their feet “Send my son in,” ho called to Mary. “Ho might as well learn how to meet this sort of occasion.” Tho delegation of workmen did not look very fierce. One of them kept gazing long¬ ingly out of the wjndow, and smoothing his napless felt hat. Another, out of whoso soiled coat pocket stuck the stem of a clay pipe, was studying the ceiling of tho room with an intensity only explainable by his fear of his m .er’seye. They were two of the men who had peered into the parlor windows of this very house on the evening our story com¬ mences. The third was John Graves, wliTfee eyes were fixed unflinchingly on the mill owner for whom ho had a message. When Philip came in he was a l.ttle startled to see hi i quondam host, but the man hail other things to think of than the possible identity of tills elegantly dressed young gentleman with tho ungrateful tramp ho had kept once over night. “There’s ameetin’of the mill ban’s down in the hall, sir, and they sent us up to ask a favor.” Mr. Breton had seated himself before his long office table and pulled up a file of busi- nesa 1 tiers. “You have too many meetings,” he said loudly. “You talk so much you aren’t fit to work. Some of the noisiest of you will find themselves out of a job some fine morning; on - man did tho other day.” The t wo other men looked anxiously at their spokesman. If they had dared they would have begun to mako excases for com¬ ing. Their wives and babies must bo fed, and talking about their rights wouldn’t ever feed them. Iiet others who could afford to offend him go to the meetings. But tho poor fellows were afraid to raise their voices, even in apology. “Blit the willingest of us all don’t want to bo roasted to death, and it amt a bit pleas¬ anter to us men folks to think of seeiiT our wives and children burnt up before our eyes. Our women nint quite so purty as thoso of the rich, but we prize ’em as much. Wo come to ask for fire escapes on the milis. So if there should happen to come a fire in day time, when the mills were full, the poor crit¬ ters could git out.” It was quite a long speech for John Graves in such august pres¬ ence, and ho delivered it in tho monotonous Yankee drawl which carries high tragedy or low comedy without a distinction of accent. “There is no danger,” he answered with a gruff laugh, 'jmd in business wo can't spend much money providing against very unlikely events. Fi re escapes would bo a piece of useless extravagance.” Mr. Breton looked sharply at his visitors over tho file of letters. “It would make necessary another cut in your pay ” Bill Rogers fingered his pi fie uneasily in the significant silence that followed, and finally drew it half out of his Then jxicket through liii force of habit in distress. he found voiir “Ycr jokin’, squire; yer wouldn’t cut us poor devils down again. The last cut seemed as if it wou{d kill us, till we found how little it takes to keep soul and body together if a critter don't oxfiect nothin’ else. Why, squire, a dog has tho best of some on us now: for folks let him steak” The tall man thrust back his pipe into tho depths of his pocket, and his face hardened into a sullen expression as he added solemnly: “1 calTato another cut would fill all the jails in the country. Yer might as well give us the least we can live on here as support us in prisoa" It tens quite a long speech for John Graves. The mill owner rose to his feet with a bustling movement of impatience. The un¬ reasonable beings had no conception of the principles of political economy, but always had some particular hardship of their own to urge against its beautiful theories, as if what made the rich moro rich must not in some way help the lieggars even that cringed at their feet. “Well, well, I don’t mean to cut you again if you don’t bother mo too much. I have lost so much that I really can’t afford an¬ other dollar of expense.” He rang the bell for tho servant. There was a gleam of sarcastic humor in John Graves’ black eyes. “But wouldn’t it now lie quite a loss to burn up a thousand such good cheap factory ban's? I wouldn’t thought you could afford that. These fire ’scapes now - ’- “.Show them out, Mary,” interrupted Mr. Breton angrily. “You might as well know, I could find a thousand ns good and as cheap, in a week,'’ and he shut the office door after them with a slam. “But you have let those men go away thinking you had just as. iief they would lie burned to death,” expostulated Philip, flush¬ ing with excitement. “Nothing of the kind, sir, only that—but do you take sides with them? That is the last thing I expected, that my own son would take part against me.” Possibly the old gentleman was a little ashamed of having spoken quite os harshly to the workmen' as ho had. It would be refloated all atiout town. And it was certainly incautious, but his very uneasiness made him the more pro¬ voked at Philip's suggestion. “I presume you picked up a few socialistic ideas at school. No doubt you would like to put on tho fire escapes out of the money your mother left you.” He rang the bell violently. “Yes I would,” exclaimed Philip, his eyes lighting up. “I will be very glad to pay for it alL It seems unjust, somehow, to crowd tho men and girls into the mills as thick as they can work, and not provide so but that they all may tie burned to"- “Mary, bring those three men lack," in¬ terrupted Mr. Breton. “Ttnt tW sm on the street bv UjG " “It milk s, no difference,” and the choleric old gentleman brought his fist down with a crash oa the table. “Go after them if you have to rbnuc them a mile. Bring them hack, I »ay.” The little office clock ticked its loudest to break the ailenco until the door opencxl to let In the returning committee. What coulil it mean? Mr. Breton stood with his back turned to them, drumming on the window pane, while Philip, pale and uncomfortable, looked nervously at his father ’ ’hen at the three awkward fi , - ■; -way, with the breathless scrvui. nnd them waiting for startling developments. “You can report to your r.-ding,” said Mr. Breton in a constrained vo; , without facing the workmen, “that aywn will put on the tire escapes at his own exp Tlmt is all. ” The nun were astonished. So to young mill owner’s son had begun to redeem his promise of the night of the fire. There were rough words of gratitude on their bps, their hearts were iu a glow, after the first chill of disappointment, but there was an influence in tho little office that hashed their eager spec'-li, and they only ducked their heads iu awkward acknowledgment and followed the maid out. “Did you suppose,” said Mr. Breton in a calmer tone as he left the window and took his chair by the long table, “that 1 was go¬ ing to let you jiay for those fire escapes? Not a penny, my dear boy, but you can have the credit of it, discredit I should call it.” lie opened the drawer and drew out a sheet of business pajwr. “The Breton Mills,” was printed at tho top. Ho dipped his pen in the ink anil wrote in tho date. Then ho wrote tho address, us follows: “John T. Giddings, Esq., Attorney at Law, 42 Loring street, Lockout.” “Please sit down, Phil. I am not much in tho habit of talking of my business to any¬ body, but I presume it is your right t > know this.” Mr. Breton laid down his jwn and ciasjK-d his hands behind his back. “I want to make this mill four times its present size; I haven’t tho money, but other men have. I am going to take thoso other men in with me, and then turn tho whole thing into a cor- puration. Gidilings is managing it for m<\” Philip’s face fell. A corporation! Then all his thoughts of some day letting a little light into tho lives of tho villagers, so far always in the shadow, his dreams which had lent a new dignity to his life, were all for nothing. A soulless corporation, with no- boity to blame for an act of injustice! How it would rivet the shackles of the poor past any power of his hands to loose them. “What is the trouble, my boy I” smiled his father, in his superior wisdom. “One would think you wanted the tough job I have had, over again. It is too much, too much for a man; why, I thought I was doing you a kind¬ ness. A man thinks, at first, he is strong, that he won’t care for the murmurs and tho threatenings of hia help, hut ho gets tired. The amount of power, aim-,.-;, like God’s, Phi¬ lip,” said Mr. Breton excitedly, “alm-ist like God's, which a big fortune gives a man, i. too much, too much.” Ho name around tho table, and put his hand on his son's shoulder. “Tlie people are poor and unhappy; we ean't shut our eyes to it. Don't we ail wonder,” ho went on in this new, strango mood Philip was fairly’ startled at, “don’t wo all wonder what life is worth to them that they are so hungry’ for the bread that keeps the breath in them? And they all blame tho men who own tho mills; they think it is our hardness and injustice. A man may know ho is all right, that rich men have always done as ho is doing, that tho few always have tho bint ol everything, and scent ! o deprive tho masses of their rights. But it wears on a man; he wants to get behind somebody or something occasionally.” The little office clock ticked oa restlessly’, for another week, and Philip had come to feel that to lie In love may be tho most ter¬ rible misfortune of a mail’s life. Iiis pride had not let him call again on Bertha for days of distress, days of hot, dry wretchedness, whoso dawn was a new, pitiless reminder of his quenchless passion that met only insult. It was insult, as he felt it, for a lover has sensibilities painfully acute, and can detect the slightest change in a woman’s relations with him, by signs too subtle for unstiinu- lated observation. A hair's breadth varia¬ tion in tone makes mysterious revolutions, sweet or bitter to him; a shade of expressiiin in tho lieautiful bluo eyes, has a meaning clearer than words, to thrill him with hope, or plunge him into despair. And in those days, too, he found time to remember hew unioverlike Bertha Jmd always been to him and the m;:||/ times she had met his ardor with coldness, with all the instances of hard¬ ness and neglect she had meted out to his de¬ votion, rose up in his mind like hideous sins that will not be forgot. How he had fooled himself, and yet ho had been so happy in ids delusion. There carno a light tap at the door. lie closed the drawers and turned about in hut chair in time to see Mary, the maid, enter with a letter for him. lie glanced at tho writing, and then was so augry at the sweet glow about his heart that he tossed tho letter carelessly on the table. The maid had lingered with a woman’s un¬ wearying tosto for sentiment; but now she slammed the doer on him and went bridling down the hall in ’ : yh dudgeon. “He’s a pretty beau, he is,” she muttered; “if I was that girl of his I’d teach him to treat my love letters that way. - ’ But the maid did not see, for the door was shut, what might have bettor suited her Ideas of propriety. Her young master had torn open the envelopo and real tho thnx; lines of the letter before Mary had finished her dis- gusted soliloquy. Then he reread it a dozen times and behaved generally in as fool i h a fashion as the most exacting sweetheart con’d have desired. But there were only three lines, “I have not deserved it, I do not do - rvo it; but will you call before 7 to-night? “Behtha.” But where was his sullen determination uever to see her again? Had he forgotten so soon that she had never loved him? But h” remembered that moment that to-morrow was tho day the had promised to let him talk of marriage to her. There was a now flush on his face, . hieh any woman might have thought har. '. ,ome now, anil n new bright light in his eyc- j. Why, it was nc ; . . , . i now-. And Le rose to go out. j “Bah!” It was his father who opened the ! door and car. s in, tearing a scrap of paper i between his fat fingers. ' But Philip thrust his letter into his iusid poeket, and then made sure it was safe, w, i? i it were a precious tick:' of admission. “My dear Phil, ii there ever wasamau fool enough to try and give tho poor what th y want, they would lead him the wildest kiwi of a wild goose chase, I can tell you. You'll see yet I was right about those lire e ";;;x c Since they have got those tho help are clamor¬ ing for something new every day. They de¬ vote all their spare time trying to think of some Right they are kept out of. I suppose the uiunics imagine the milG ought to Ixj ran in their interest,” and Mr. Breton smiled at the absurdity of the idea conjured up. Then he tossed the torn bits of paper into the waste i basket. “There goes one of their warnings; j I have burned a dozen within a week. ’If I don’t do this or that, my wills will stop,’they read. I wouldn't wonder if a strike ivas brt-wir.- I onlv bone tbev will givejne one more day. ltwy might scare somti bf the capitalists if they should make a disturbance tomorrow, imt after to-morrow it will be too late. They can do their worst; we shall al¬ ways have the whip hand of them.” "Is your corporation actually going to ba st t’ leil to-morrow f’ exclaimed Philip, breath¬ lessly; “I didn't know but it was given up." “I never give anything up, my son. But you can help rue a good deal If you wiii Tho hands trust you, they would do as you urged them. You understand how to talk to them. Yes, you do; don’t stop me; didn’t four ready tongue save the mill once, tlie night of the fire? N-c.v, just you run down town, go into their meeting, if there is any, calm them d-r>v:i-me way, 1 don't cart? how, Philip; all 1 want is one day more. If they thoul.l! pp. n to strike to-morrow, good gra¬ cious, I nil, it might knock my con loratiou scheme all to smithereens. Little mercy they’d ever ,;G after that, from i.'.e, though. You .-vie they won’t gain anything either way, strike or no strike, but you tee I might lose." Philip moved toward tho door in silence.
